SDT, I think you need to clarify the differences between EB-5 visa, permanent resident (“green card”) status, and US citizenship.

I know the green card may lead to citizenship, if a certain number years elapse, and if the person is interested in applying for it. But I’m not clear whether the EB-5 visa can lead to permanent residence.

Your post implies that the EB-5 visa and US citizenship are the same thing.
